Great to meet you!

Growing up in an underserved Latin community, I have always been drawn to helping others. Many of us are shaped by our experiences and aren't fully aware of how these experiences show up in our everyday lives and relationships. I enjoy studying the importance of understanding ourselves and how we relate to others. My current focus and training are on attachment and trauma-informed approaches. I have been trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, ACT and more trauma based approaches.

My approach to therapy

My approach to treatment is attachment-based and client-centered. The emphasis is placed on exploring your values, experiences and what is important to you. We can work together to gain insight and explore your past so that you can develop a better understanding of your experiences and how they have impacted you. I can help guide you through the process of knowing yourself and being able to understand, accept and express your emotions.

What you can expect from me

The clients I work with would say I am personable, nonjudgmental, and compassionate. I attempt to find the right balance of providing a space to vent, as well as identifying any patterns or habits that might no longer be serving you. Through the therapeutic process, I aim to help you objectively evaluate yourself, manage your emotions, and rediscover who you truly are.
